Yes, although the floods last year were horrific, in many ways they were localised. Overall, I think this year has probably been worse as, with the possible exeption of the far south east of England and the far north of Scotland, the whole country is saturated to the point of not being able to handle any more water, so new rainfall is just lying on the surface and creating mud as it is walked on.

You did well to stick it out. For most of the last few years, I haven't even bothered setting off.

Summer? What summer?

Sorry to hear you had such bad weather in Cornwall.

We came back from 2 weeks in Northe Devon and Somerset and it was pretty wet there also!

Its very patchy rain, inland and close to us the racetrack has good to firm ground, its taking any amount of rain thrown at it! Surely it has to pick up soon....at least this weekend looks a slight improvement.
